 You meant <!<[CDATA not <cdata there I think, but beware 
XSL engines are _not_ obliged to support disable-output-encoding,
it is only a hint that you might like it output that way.

But why would anyone want to write 

 <xsl:text disable-output-encoding="yes"><![CDATA[ <foo>  </foo>]]></xsl:text>

which is a horrible kludge even when it works, when you can
far more simply write

  <foo>  </foo>

and just output the foo node as a literal result element?
